Rockies signed RHP Jose Ortega to a minor league contract.

The 26-year-old hurler was bombed in his only appearance with the Tigers during the 2014 season, but posted a somewhat respectable 3.57 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 48/36 K/BB ratio over 58 frames at Triple-A Toledo. He'll provide bullpen depth in the minors for the Rockies. Sat, Nov 22, 2014 01:38:00 PM

Tigers designated RHP Jose Ortega for assignment.

The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Evan Reed. Ortega has a big arm, but his velocity has been down this season and his control has always been an issue. It's possible someone will take a chance on the 25-year-old. Fri, Aug 29, 2014 02:14:00 PM

Rockies placed OF Corey Dickerson on the 15-day disabled list with non-displaced fractures of two ribs.

An MRI exam revealed Friday that Dickerson had sustained non-displaced fractures of two ribs on his right side while diving for a line drive during Thursday's contest against the Cardinals. It's the third time that the outfielder has been forced to the disabled list this season. There is no clear timetable for his return at the moment.

He left Friday's start after throwing just 25 pitches. Kendrick could be dealing with a rotator cuff injury, which sometimes requires surgery. His roster spot will be absorbed by right-hander Scott Oberg.

Rockies placed LHP David Hale on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain.

Hale sustained the injury in Thursday's game against the Braves. As the strain is believed to be minor, he should require just the minimum time on the disabled list and be ready to return in late July.

Rockies recalled LHP Tyler Anderson from Triple-A Albuquerque and placed on the 60-day disabled list with an elbow injury.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Aaron Laffey who had his contract purchased from Triple-A on Friday. Anderson has been dealing with problems with his pitching elbow since early in the spring.
